132 The Vice Admirals arrive (2/2)
The ice man looked between his two comrades with a blank look.
Sakazuki fumed but remained silent, drawing out slow deep breaths as he attempted to calm himself down. Ever since he had eaten the Magma fruit, he had noticed that it had become harder to control his surges of anger, and his infuriating and justice-hating fellow marines only served to decrease his already short fuse.
”Vice Admiral sirs! You are requested on deck by Mission leader Garp!” A short man appeared, his hands firmly against his head as he delivered his message.
”Acknowledges soldier.” Sakazuki voiced, before slowly rising to his feet and beckoning his fellow Vice Admirals forward.
The man nodded smartly before exiting the room. Behind him the towering Vice admirals followed, each in their own thoughts though equally serious.
As they got on deck they could not help but blanche, for the calm of the bowels of the ship had convinced them of the smooth sailing journey, and the tempestuous winds that ravaged the groaning vessel were anything but.
”VICE ADMIRAL! Your orders!” Sakazuki yelled, his head malforming shortly as a fist sized rock pelted through it.
”Un! You brats ready yourselves, we're going to be facing these winds all through the battle! We've been having strong winds ever since we entered the New World, and judging by the massive quantities of rain, we're probably getting close to it.
Now remember, Sengoku's orders were clear. We are to merely observe! Only if we are guaranteed to nab either Big Mom (hopefully) or Kaido(God forbid) do we move. This is the first time you lot are going to be seeing an all out emperor conflict, better remain careful!
Now Sakazuki, from the reports that I have received, of the three of you, you have the weakest control of your devil fruit. I don't want you to be bursting into flames all rapidly, if I see that happening I'm throwing you off board!
Kuzan you are to watch over the left flank of the ship, and Borsolino you are to precede as the overall executive head of the ship. You shall be calling the shots.
I'm shall focus on deterrence within enemy lines and Sakazuki you shall act individually as the right flank! From the reports that we have gotten it shall be the lighter side, so the canons that we focus on shall be on you, Kuzan.
Each of you are responsible for the men on your flanks, while Borsolino you are responsible for the overall ship's functioning.
Dismissed!” And with a clap of his hands the elderly Vice Admiral turned his back on them. Steel in his eyes as he looked at the mass of clouds that raged over head. He would function poorly on the ship, he would be too constrained. And with the number of anchors on board he could not take that risk.
”And brats, we follow the red ledger for this. You lot shall be aiming to down any stray ships that move too far from the main convoy, do not engage, I repeat do not engage with the main force unless I say so! No hostages and no prisoners of war, I don't want to overflow Magellan with high profile convicts. We hit anything that moves, no mercy. ”
